In a heartwarming turn of events, Hollywood power couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling graced the 2024 Olympics in Paris with their presence. The duo, known for their privacy and low-key lifestyle, delighted fans as they attended various Olympic events alongside their daughters, Esmeralda (9) and Amada (8).
A Day of Olympic Excitement
Women’s Gymnastics Uneven Bars Final
The couple’s first stop was the women’s gymnastics uneven bars final at Bercy Arena. Team USA’s Suni Lee secured the bronze medal, while China’s Qiu Qiyuan took home the silver and Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour claimed the gold. Eva and Ryan, both beaming with pride, cheered on the athletes from the stands.
Equestrian Dressage Individual Grand Prix Freestyle
Next, they headed to the Equestrian Dressage Individual Grand Prix Freestyle event at the historic Chateau de Versailles. Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl wowed the crowd, clinching the top prize. Her teammate Isabell Werth followed closely in second place, while Britain’s Charlotte Fry secured the bronze. Eva and Ryan, dressed in elegant yet understated attire, watched intently as the horses and riders performed intricate routines.
A Love Story That Endured
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s relationship has stood the test of time. The couple, who met on the set of “The Place Beyond The Pines” over a decade ago, have rarely been seen together in public. Their last joint red carpet appearance was in 2015 during a group Q&A event for Ryan’s directorial debut film, “Lost River,” at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
In a 2023 interview with GQ, Ryan candidly expressed his feelings about starting a family with Eva. “I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her,” he said. “But after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her.” Eva, too, had a change of heart. “It made sense for me to have…not kids, but his kids,” she told Women’s Health in 2019.
Celebrities at the 2024 Olympics
Eva and Ryan weren’t the only stars soaking up the Olympic atmosphere. Several other celebrities were spotted enjoying the games in Paris. From A-list actors to renowned musicians, the Olympics provided a unique opportunity for them to come together and celebrate athleticism, unity, and global spirit.
